I am tracking the current IPL tournament on NDTV 24×7. It’s practically impossible for me to watch a match everyday so the news channel is my best resort.
NDTV 24×7 came up with an interesting story on Pakistan’s version of the IPL.
A senior official of the board said that this year’s Twenty20 competition, which has been delayed until August 10, would be the last time that the popular domestic event would be held on regional basis and without team sponsors.
“From next year, we will offer franchise of teams like in the IPL to interested companies and individuals and work has already begun in this direction,” the official said.
He said the Twenty20 national championship would also be expanded to possibly include foreign players.
“But that will definitely depend on the sort of money the companies and individuals buying the franchise of teams are willing to offer for overseas players,” the official said.
Its good to see other Cricket boards jumping on to T-20 bandwagon. Maybe a match between the teams form both the leagues can be arranged in the future on the lines of the European Football Leagues. It will be exciting to see the PCB league.
